We are saddened to announce that the Serbian National Theatre will not be able to bring their production of THE SEAGULL to La MaMa this season, due to the financial difficulties caused by the recent natural disasters.

In May of this year, cyclone Tamara caused massive flooding and landslides in Serbia (as well as in Bosnia), and according to the BBC,  "Serbia's flood damage has been estimated as high as 1.5 billion Euros ($2 billion)." Funding that would otherwise go to the arts is now, necessarily, being used to provide aid for Serbians after this terrible natural disaster.

We decided to designate our '13-'14 season our "MaMa Earth" season after witnessing the effects of Hurricane Sandy on the daily lives of New Yorkers. The rising incidence of catastrophic weather events impacts everyone, in all places. We are all on Mama Earth together.

#mamaearth video project

In conjunction with TEMPEST 3: The Tide Is Rising and the La MaMa Earth Season, we have launched the #mamaearth video project to spotlight how environmental and social justice issues are both local and global and how these issues are all interconnected. 

Beginning with the three companies involved with TEMPEST 3 from the US, Korea and Italy, we are inviting everyone to create 30 - 60 second videos that put a spotlight on local issues in their community and upload them to social media with the hashtag: #mamaearth. 

The first of the #mamaearth videos can be seen: HERE
